The mind machine interface with neural receptor
headband includes electrodes to receive electrical stimuli from
brainwave activity and decode neuron firing for a computer (C# signal-processing engine) to
algorithmically analze EEG signals into directions for remote control
of a
machine. The headband/brain cap has electrodes that snuggly makes
contact
with the scalp to pick up electrical impulses.

Claims

What is claimed is:
1. A “mind machine interface” is able to remotely control machines via
electrodes in a headband placed at specific points on someone’s skull.
2. You can visualize how it works by thinking of a joystick that turns
left, right, up and down and how certain neurons or regions in the
brain electrically fire up, as seen in catscans, MRI’s, and
picked up by
electroencephalography
(EEG) or magnetic encephalogram (MEG).
3. Electrodes placed over occipital lobes are able to pick up these
impulses and translate them to directional movement.
4. The electrode headband/interface will use the modality of EEG to
measure electrical current and/or MEG to measure magnetic dipole, both
can measure brain activity.
5. A lead lined helmet is used for magnetic shielding to prevent
environmental noise like the electro-magnetic radiation of power
lines, TV, etc from disrupting electrical signals that are being
processed from neural activity.
6. Since the mind fires differently in separate parts of the brain for
specific movements, a computer program uses an algorithm to decode
brainwave activity into directions for a machine to follow.
